You told me they are not liars, even though their propaganda is a bunch of lies.

propaganda? Rofl really? Propaganda? You must enjoy making headcanons that don't exist. And flesh is weak? Sure, so is stone and metal, as it's been crushed, melted and obliterated all over Azeroth by mere flesh.

Elune/A'She are deities worshipped/revered by the Bight Elves/Tauren. Worship of The Light on Azaroth came a bit later with the Sindorei, Humans, Worgen, Dwarves and eventually Gnomes. Of course the Draenei predate even the Trolls as a race but they're not originally from Azaroth.

I don't even know if I should consider this post a trolling attempt... but Bright Elves? Worship of the Light on Azeroth came a bit later with the Sindorei... Worgen...? What?

Ugh. anyways. Elune is worshiped by the Night Elves (bright elves... oh, boy...), and, considering the Horde up to vanilla WoW does not truly worship the Light (Tauren worship the Sun, Trolls have their voodoo, Forsaken woship no one, and the Orcs... I have no idea), I believe it's a safe assumption to say that the Worship of the Light started with the Alliance. However, it's very hard, if not downright impossible, to say WHO between Dwarves and Humans began with the worshipping of the Light. I mean, Gnomes are technology-driven. So much so they didn't have priests until recently, and Night Elves, as mentioned before, worship Elune. Humans descent from the Vrykul of Northrend, and Dwarves descend from the Stone Dwarves who suffered the Curse of Flesh. But who came into being first is not defined, nor it is when the worship of the Light started, much less WHO started it.

Hmm. I think I went on a tangent on the topic's subject. Better go back to it. Ahem. Anyways. As for the Origin of the Night Elves, I don't think Elune had a hand in it. I think it was simply the Well's energies that caused the mutations as generations passed. Yup, I don't think it was an instant thing, either. I think it happened over generations.

In game they are awful because they have to be to make Horde players feel good about themselves; in stories/novels they still have teeth.

But Warcraft is a GAME universe, no matter how many rolls of TP covered with Knaak's graphomany is released. While I reluctanlty must accept the "lore" in Warcraft books as canon, the actual world of Warcraft is in WoW. Hence, it is what we see in game.

To life, to life I'll bring them,
I'll bring all these dead men to life!

It's simple, Elune i just another titan construct similar to freya. She created race of keepers and dryads using malorne as a basic of her research. That would explain why she is cenarius "mother" and malorne is father. And we didn't even needed hentai for that. That would also explain why there are dryads and keepers inside ulduar - they are just another titanic creation, just more organic then most.

I'll take whatever positive exists; we all know Metzen and Co. write for the Horde. Leave it to authors like Christie Golden and even Knaak to make some Alliance races look good.

Anyone butthurt over the origin of Night Elves re-rolled ladygoat years ago.

I love how it took 3 posts for this thread to become a "Is Elune a Naaru" wangfest.

I think that dark trolls evolved into what we call night elves by exposure to the waters of the WoE over some time. Elune -being whatevah, whatevah she is- took interest in these creatures, and their form as well. Ultimately she mothered forest creatures like cenarius because she wanted to get her freak on/protect the world.

My theory is that the night elves evolved from dark trolls over the course of few generations while in close proximity to the well of eternity. Makes the most sense, alongside them being entirely transformed over a couple years into their current form. I mean, it IS a lake of incredibly potent arcane energy, it's possible it could transform a race into a more evolved state over the course of a year or two.

When talking about the Twin Consorts one dev confirmed that she WAS the spirit of the Moon. So I think they're just pointing out that she may just be divine and not made. A true deity.

There is one thing that speaks against elune being true deity. IF we assume that she indeed doesnt have any bonds to 4 big "space" factions (titans, naaru, old gods, legion) They simply wouldnt leave her alone. Old gods would like to drive her insane, titans to subdue and controll her, and legion to kill her. And i highly doubt she could match Sargeras, Patheon or Influence of the old gods. If we had any other mentions of deities i would be able to go with her being goddes. But for now im pretty sure she is member of bigger groups. Keep in mind that only other "god" we met so far was C'thun who was infact worshipped by Qiraji (who have suprisingly similar social structure to night elves with priest caste and warrior caste), and he turned out to be octopus with giant eyeball.

The "Elune is maybe a Naaru"-deal is so far conjecture, hinted at but not definitive, so let's leave the last bit of NE-related mystique intact for a bit :P

I'm pretty sure it's canon though that the night elves-to-be settled near the well of eternity at some point and from that they turned into Night elves as we know them now (Not said anywhere how much time that transformation took, could have taken years, or generations, or maybe they just used a moon stone :P ), it hasn't been explicitly said what they started out as though, although the... ubiquitous nature of trolls (They're EVERYWHERE! >_< ) does make them good candidates as ancestor race.
